@ -8,16 +8,16 @@ KrautStatus consists of three components: an Arduino-sensor-combination at the
door, a Python script on a local server, and an API file served on by web
server.
The Arduino broadcasts the current state of the door lock to our LAN. The state
is determined by a reed sensor in the door lock. In addition, it controls an
RGB LED matrix shield that provides a visual indication of the door locks's
state in the room.
The Arduino provides the current state of the door lock upon request via UDP.
The state is determined by a reed sensor in the door lock. In addition, it
controls an RGB LED matrix shield that provides a visual indication of the door
locks's state in the room.
The python script polls the broadcast state and pushes changes to Twitter,
Mastodon and our API file.
The API file is just that, a JSON file. It contains, among other things, the
current state of the door lock.
The API file follows the [Space API](http://spaceapi.net) specification, which
includes a field indicating whether the space is open or closed.
